@robtg Thanks for pointing out this issue. I've read the post about the same issue in the Shoes ML recently. I paste the dialogue here. It's not a solution, though...

Hi,

Is it possible for someone to test the video player on Linux?

I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 and green shoes. I've tried running the sample
code from the green shoes manual
http://ashbb.github.com/green_shoes/Video.html

and playing anything from a youtube video to a local mp3 and I always
get this error:

/home/sebastjan/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p194/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': cannot load such file -- win32api (LoadError)

thx
seba

Hi Seba, J and folks,

It may be my fault...
Could you try out the following patch?

D:\green_shoes\lib\plugins>diff video_old.rb video.rb
105c105
< require 'win32api'

  require 'win32api' if RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /mingw/

Regards,
ashbb

After patching I get the error below when I run the sample code from
green shoes manual. The app opens but no video is displayed. When play
is pressed the app crashes and the error is shown:

/home/sebastjan/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/gems/green_shoes-1.1.365/lib/plugins/video.rb:45:in play': undefined methodxwindow_id=' for nil:NilClass
from video.rb:15:in `block (2 levels) in

'
